Post clutch TSB noise?


KR158

Recommended Posts

Had tsb done on my kr about 90 days ago at 2k miles. Dealer has done several of the tsb jobs. Car drives better and clutch seems very light. Problem I am having is whe. Clutch is not engaged and car is at idle in N the clutch makes a lot of noise or chatter, once I press the clutch in the noise goes away? I talked to another guy who had his clutch done at the same dealer who has the same noise. Is it common for the car, clutch to make noise after tsb when clutch is not enaged or is something wrong with our cars?

The noise goes away after TSB because a new pilot bearing is installed and it will come back after driving for a bit, completely normal IMO. My car took about 100 miles of driving before it reached a pre TSB level of noise.

Gear roll over noise is normal per what ford has told us. Some cars seem to have it more than others.
